edinburghowl Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Top stuff from Gary. Surpising praise for Warnock, a dig at the Blades, and an honest reflection on the strengths and weaknesses of teams in our division. WAWAW! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2189239/Championship-preview-Gary-Megson.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juror8 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Enjoyed reading that. Especially, who the fans want to beat, "Sheffield Utd, oh, wait a minute ...." Not impressed he recommended Antonio to someone else. Still think our biggest strength isn't Hillsborough but our manager. He can't really say that though can he. First pre-season review where I've agreed with the review of almost every club. Knows his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthndav Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Knowing Gary he might have recommended Antonio to Reading... i.e. keep hold of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAL Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Why would it be Stoke. They sell Ben Marshall for a million. Then GM thinks, i know, i'll advise them to buy Antonio for a million. He wouldn't be working for them long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't be working for them long. Who else could it logically be? I can't see him working as a scout for anyone; much more likely it was passed on in an informal capacity. Just because they sold one winger, doesn't mean they'll rule out the possibility of signing any other young wingers. And remember, they offered a contract to retain Marshall. He turned it down so they had to sell. Also, Antonio strikes me as a player who fits the Pulis mould more than Marshall.

I thought he mightve rised above that Wednesday fan, but then again he was probably paid to do some scouting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest foreverSWFC Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 You don't have to be Sherlock to figure it was this summer. Antonio was on Megson's radar for along time, may have recommended him to a prem club before he joined us, i don't know. Also when he was here he prided himself on turning Hillsborough back into a fortress, funny that he put that as our strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having known that, they settled on a million. Antoinio, all they knew was he had done well in division one. To offer a player to them, that Reading did not want in the Championship, for a million seems a bit silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
